In November of 2006, the voters of Kermit ISD passed a $33 million dollar bond issue for school facilities improvement.  Plans began almost immediately, and ground was broken the following July on the first phase of construction, a new elementary school large enough to house the district's entire elementary population.  Work progressed, and faculty & staff began to move in the summer of 2009.  Our inaugural class of students began attending Kermit Elementary School on August 24, 2009.  See photos of the construction process to the left.
